Community Development as Micropolitics: Comparing Theories, Policies and Politics in America and Britain de Akwugo Emejulu

Community Development as Micropolitics: Comparing Theories, Policies and Politics in America and Britain

Autor Akwugo Emejulu
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2016
Community development is routinely invoked as a practical solution to a myriad of social problems, even though there is little consensus about its meaning and purpose. Through a comparative analysis of competing US and UK perspectives on community development since 1968, this book critically examines the contradictory ideas and practices that have shaped this field. Such an approach exposes problematic politics that have far-reaching consequences for those committed to working for social justice. This accessible book offers an alternative model for thinking about the politics of community development and will appeal to academics, students, and professionals in the community development field.

Recenzii

“What is community development exactly? Emejulu’s book integrates historical, theoretical, and comparative approaches to answering this difficult question. She describes several discourses, including: Democracy, Power, Poverty, Empowerment, and Populist, and maps how community development has changed in the United States and also in Britain. The book informs theoretical questions about how social movements use language to link leaders and followers and larger questions of participatory democracy.”

"This book is based on substantial scholarship and offers valuable insights into the politics and practice of community development in the United States and Britain in the crucial period between the late 1960s and late 1990s."

“This fascinating study deftly explores the intellectual and political history of community development. It highlights the need to challenge the inequality and elitism that haunts many contemporary practices.”

“A thought-provoking analysis of community development debates in Britain and the United States since 1968. Essential reading for students and policy analysts alike.”
